Student Travel Support

Welcome to the Student Travel & Support information for 2024/2025. Our aim is to provide a travel and financial assistance scheme that offers flexibility of choice, meets our students’ needs and does not put a barrier in the way of a student accessing their education. We work with both First Bus and Stagecoach bus companies to offer student-priced bus passes and to provide as many direct routes to HSDC as possible. We also work with South Western Railway to provide those students who wish to travel by train a reduced-cost rail pass. Further financial help towards travel and essential college costs may be available if the household is in receipt of an income-based benefit. Please see the ‘Financial Support’ section for further information.

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.
